The earliest heroes did good deeds, protected travellers, rid the earth of monsters, and undertook useful work: such were Hercules and Theseus.
Subsequently they were merely courageous, like Achilles, Ajax, and Diomedes: after that, they were great conquerors, like Philip and Alexander.
Finally they became lovers, like the heroes in romances.
At present I don't know what they do. They are merely subject to the caprices of Fortune.
—Montesquieu
